"Madam, please stop teasing me. I am timid and can't stand being scared."
Mrs. Zhu made a 'che' sound and ignored him. She turned around to catch up with Master Zhu who was walking twice as long as usual.
Everyone saw it right. The reason why Shangshu Zhu was kept in the dark the whole time was because of the work of Mrs. Zhu, who was twenty-five years his junior.
Otherwise, how could a dignified minister of the Ministry of Personnel not have a few close confidants around him? How could a man who could easily move his entire body with just one move have no ears and eyes?
It wasn't all that his good wife kept it secret. It could only ferment, rotten, and stink inside, and then explode with a bang.
As for whether it will blow up Zhu Shangshu, it is certain that Zhu Shangshu will be affected, but it will not be easy to blow him up.
how to say?
Qi Bao'er looked at the letter in front of him to see the old man in front of him who was clearly very curious but still kept a calm expression. He couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Old man Qi's old face, which was getting younger and younger and no longer showing any deep wrinkles, suddenly became serious, "Why are you laughing, my dear?"
Both eyes are full of threats. If you dare to make fun of your father, you will be dead!
Old man Qi glanced at Xin and immediately looked away, waving his hands to avoid suspicion and saying: "Your appointment is a public matter, so I don't like it; if others know about it, someone will have to impeach you."
When he learned this, Qi Baoer really didn't understand.
According to Mrs. Zhu herself, she has been slowly 'brainwashing' Shangshu Zhu, and over the past few years she has achieved small results.
In the years since Mrs. Zhu married into the Zhu family, she has come to understand the true nature of the Zhu family, their ambitions are as high as the sky, and their greed is insufficient.
Qi Baoer held back her laughter and handed over the letter.
Qi Bao'er spoke before her father asked: "This is not the first time that Mrs. Zhu has asked me for help. According to Mrs. Zhu herself, the Zhu family is rotten to the core and should be uprooted and burned again."
Shaoba was completely destroyed.
Qi Baoer handed it forward again, "Master, I'm not afraid if I dare to show it to you. Besides, the emperor is on my side, and I won't be afraid even if I am impeached."
Zhu Shangshu is already a minister, and compared with Zhu Da, who is only a seventh-rank official, and Zhu Sanyi, who has no official position, he has already stabilized the two. If he is allowed to marry a princess from Prince Qing's palace at this time,
···
In the past, the Zhu family was going downhill step by step. The Zhu family's greed was only to marry a high-status daughter-in-law for the eldest son, and to use the influence of her natal family to help the Zhu family rise.
No one knows why Zhu Shangshu was reused by the emperor. They only know that Zhu Shangshu was suddenly transferred back to the capital by the emperor four years ago and was promoted to Minister of Civil Affairs. Later, he was dismissed from his previous position as Minister of Civil Affairs.
Later, he became the new Minister of Personnel.
Then the rest of the Zhu family stood up again. Instead of agreeing to such a good marriage, they all came out to oppose it.
That's the bad thing about my granddaughter being too smart. She can't hide anything from her.
The more he looked, the more serious his expression became, and the worry on his face became more and more intense.
The behavior of blessing my father and my mother is very confusing, not at all like the head or mistress of the family who comes from a big family, and seems a bit petty.
This is the case in many families. The things that they like are useless, they dislike or have no feelings for, but they become the hope for the prosperity of the family. They will treat these mature children well, and may not devote all the family resources to cultivate these children.
But at least it must be taken seriously.
....Old man Qi would say that the word impeachment was mentioned suddenly because his good granddaughter was really impeached by the imperial censor when he was away from the capital. She was not impeached once, but for three days in a row.
.
It was just that Zhu Da was average-looking and didn't have much knowledge to attract people with her talent. In the end, after many choices, she was already twenty-two years old, and she chose the girl from Zhu's mother's family who had the best conditions at the time.
She scanned her father with her eyes like a clairvoyant, and she revealed: "Master, you came here specifically to block me today. Is it because someone is begging you?"
Ordinarily speaking, if Zhu's father and mother are really thinking about the Zhu family, and the second son is excellent, even if this second son is not his favorite, he is still his biological child, and Tianxingwang will be beneficial to the family, even if he can't like it from the bottom of his heart.
At least on the surface, a father will be kind and his son will be filial, and a mother will be kind and her son will be obedient.
I wish Shangshu a filial piety, and if something happens to the Zhu family, the Zhu family will definitely push Shangshu Zhu out to top him. No matter how filial Shangshu Zhu is disappointed, he will definitely repay his parents' kindness with his own body.
Nurture grace.”
Zhu Shangshu, who is the tallest and smartest, was not favored when he was young. When he grew up, his advantages in appearance and knowledge not only did not allow him to win the love of his parents, but instead attracted the jealousy and jealousy of his elder brother.
The parents became more and more disgusted.
But there is one thing that Mrs. Zhu has determined that she cannot change Zhu Shangshu in this life, that is, Zhu Shangshu believes that his life is given by his parents, and he must be filial to this.
Old man Qi: "..."
So what else are the other two brothers doing?!
Since I couldn't hide it anymore, Old Man Qi simply didn't dare to pretend. He coughed slightly embarrassed and took the letter.
Let’s put this matter aside for now and talk about it later.
Later, I accidentally saved Mrs. Zhu. Maybe it was fate. The two people with such a big age difference actually fell in love with each other at first sight. One insisted on marrying and the other insisted on marrying.
There are a lot of reasons, but in the final analysis, there is only one, that is, Mrs. Zhu’s status is too good.
Old man Qi was stunned for a moment after hearing what Qi Baoer said, "My dear, according to what you said, Mr. Zhu and his wife shouldn't have to live as miserable as the letter said, right?
"
Four years ago, Minister Zhu, who was already forty-three years old, was still alone when he returned to Beijing.
Zhu Shangshu passed the imperial examination at the age of seventeen due to his own ability. Before this, the seventeen-year-old legitimate son of an ordinary family had to be engaged, but Zhu Shangshu did not say that he was not engaged.
His parents never asked about his affairs at all. He went from being a child to the imperial examination step by step, and he didn't go straight to the imperial examination all at once.
After Zhu Shangshu won the prize, he was sent to a local place as a county magistrate, and he stayed away from the capital from then on; and his parents were such good people that they simply thought that this person was gone in the family, let alone whether they wanted to find a wife for him.
Instead, he didn't even write a letter to Minister Zhu for several years, and he always asked for his salary from Minister Zhu on the grounds of family difficulties.
Although the old man is old, he is not pedantic.
If a pedantic old man were to look at these things about the Zhu family, they might take them for granted. After all, you, Lord Zhu, are the biological sons of Zhu’s father and mother. Isn’t it right for you to be filial to your parents and friendly to your brothers?
But I hope the old man doesn’t think so. How can there be so many things in this world that are taken for granted?
If you are kind to him, he will reciprocate your kindness. This is truly a matter of course.
